The Florists' Review 



May 10, 1917. 



PROVIDENCE, R. I. 



The Market. 



Business is considerably better tlian 

 normal, everybody being comfortably 

 busy, witli funeral, wedding and social 

 work well distributed. Sales of potted 

 and bedding ])lants are large, and a few 

 warm, bright days will set things hum- 

 ming. There is a good supply of all flow- 

 ers, and jiriees range a trifle lower than 

 usual, if any tiling. The season is ex- 

 pected to end this year with Memorial 

 da}^ as flowers, it is understood, are to 

 be tabooed at all the school commence- 

 ments.
